The festivities take place in Meeting Room One at the Hyatt Place on Northwest Expressway in Oklahoma City beginning at 6 p.m. ET (5 p.m. CT local time).

Saturday night’s MTV2-broadcast event, which features the opening round of the organization’s eight-man featherweight tournament, takes place at the Lucky Star Casino in nearby Concho, Okla.

Bellator 37, which is the third event of the organization’s 12-week fourth season, is the first of four season-four events scheduled to take place in Oklahoma. Co-headlining the show are Patricio “Pitbull” Freire vs. Georgi Karakhanyan and Zac George vs. Wilson Reis, both of which are tourney fights.

The tournament winner earns $100,000 in total pay and a title shot with current champ Joe Warren.

A total of 26 fighters got their chance to shine on Saturday as part of UFC 190 at Rio de Janeiro’s HSBC Arena. Now that UFC 190 is in the books, it’s time to commence MMAjunkie’s “Three Stars” ceremony.
